Re: Halloween Masks Info!

Trust me, I want to, but my iPhone is all I have until my laptop is done charging. When it's done, you guys will have pics.

NO i know every mask, but i mean for those who don't know , and also i mean have members post pics of their masks for Each movie category, 1 Mask per info and Derek should pick the nice one maybe from the gallery imo...

Yes, an Fx artist who was angry for some unknown reason, so most were destroyed. Some where still kept in destroyed condition as u can see pics of the masks, in slightly disfigured look, in the gallary. I believe only 1 or 2 were restored, thus the reason for the difference in look of the masks, different hairline and different look with the paint. The original look of the masks are the original scenes when Wilbure wore them, and the restored look is in the Re shoots when Michael Lerner wore the mask.

Sorry guys, untill I have time to rescale the images, you guys will just have to deal with big pictures. When I get home from school tomorrow ill start working on getting real pictures, and making said images smaller!

Untill then, ALL IMAGES FROM THE GALLERY, I TAKE NO CREDIT TO ANY OF THE PHOTOS. You know, just in case.

For those of you wanting to know what The Mask the Halloween 4 mask was recasted off looked like, here ya go! (Notice no trademark stamp on the back of the neck and how short the neck is which is why they added a neck extension to the Halloween 4 mask).

Also, the producers of Halloween 4 borrowed a '75 Kirk from Don Post Jr. who borrowed it from Bill Malone that Bill had finished it up in Myers style but was horribly finished (horribly painted and dark black hair with Elvis style sideburns and eyebrows) so they could take it as an example to finish the Halloween 4 mask. The producers thought that Bill Malone's '75 was the actual mask used in the original Halloween/Halloween 2 so, sadly, they finished the Halloween 4 mask up in the same way as Malone's '75 was (black hair with sideburns and colored eyebrows).

Also, Nick Castle wasn't the only one who wore the Hero in the original Halloween. Tommy Lee Wallace, Tony Moran, and Jim Windburn did also.

Thanks man, I love hearing about what happens behind the scenes. I wonder what he was so upset about...but then again, I've heard that there was some tension on the set of that movie

With the direction they went on H6, I'm sure more than just that fx guy was upset. Can you imagine? Not liking and hating the script and how everything was going, yet you could do nothing about it but do fx?

Also there may have been as many as 3 Myers masks for Halloween 1, Tommy Lee wallace says they perfected the look by modifying several Kirk masks but the others were only ever used as back up or for stunt shots.This cool photo from the Halloween '78 wrap party proves the other's existence:http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/6286 ... pparty.pngIn the running for use as the mask in Halloween were, Richard Nixon, Emmett Kelley, Mr. Spock, and possibly Gerald Ford.

Also, Tommy Lee Wallace donned the mask for the closet scene in H1 because had made the prop closet door, and wanted it to break right the first time. Deborah Hill said she even wore the costume for the long shot of the shape watching Tommy across the street at night.

Great idea for a thread although it will be hard to get most to agree on some of the "facts".

Still yet, I say go for it! Love the ambition and you're doing a great presentation.

Yeah, I know there will be a dispute or two over what is and is not fact, but im trying to stick with what is absolutely know as a fact. Except for the H4, of course, that i plan on posting the common theories we have for it.

Yes, those were stunt masks, and unused masks. Im actually trying to focus on the Hero mask facts and interesting stories.I'm fully aware of the other people playing Michael, but i consider Castle to be Myers, not so much Tony Moran or the others.
